Trump visits Ohio and Kentucky to downplay war’s effect on economy and target a top GOP antagonist
Trump highlights efforts to lower prescription drug prices and backs Ed Gallrein against Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky’s GOP primary amid economic concerns and war tensions.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump will visit Ohio and Kentucky to argue his policies can steady an economy facing shock waves from the war on Iran, touring Thermo Fisher Scientific in Cincinnati and a logistics packing facility in Hebron, Kentucky.
- Rising economic unease, reflected in polls and payroll revisions, underpins the trip as Trump will tout efforts to lower prescription drug prices ahead of November midterm elections amid 92,000 jobs cut in February and 69,000 payroll revisions.
- Trump is intervening in a Kentucky primary by endorsing Ed Gallrein, who will appear with him ahead of the May 19 vote against Rep. Thomas Massie, an outspoken Trump critic.
- The administration casts the visits as reassurance on household costs ahead of November, with Karoline Leavitt saying he’ll be 'talking about the economy' to ease voters concerned about affordability.
- As part of a broader travel push, the trip serves as a test of Trump's willingness to punish dissenters in his party after Democrats' Virginia and New Jersey governors' races, following stops in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas this primary cycle.
